Their short film, Pandemic, showed at the Sundance Film Festival 2011, and their feature film HiM is in development with producers Ted Hope and Anne Carey.

Much of his writing advice has been collected in various writing- and storytelling-related e-books.

He currently lives in the forests of Pennsyltucky with wife, two dogs, and tiny human.

He is likely drunk and untrustworthy. This blog is NSFW and probably NSFL.

Anyway hey hi how are you guys?

I’m good over here. Just chugging my way through THE BIG GIANT BOOK THAT WOULDN’T BE SMALL. It’s increasingly a very different book for me — past-tense (I know, gasp), not-really-thriller-pacing, bigger, sprawlier, more epic in its scope. Also not part of a series, so, a big ol’ standalone. I’m trying to be patient with it and myself.

What else?

Upcoming event stuff:

July 14th, a reminder that Fran Wilde and I join the effervescent Kevin Hearne at the Parkway Central Library in Philadelphia — event starts at 7:30PM, getcher details right here.

Also, I will be the Guest of Honor at Ravencon 2018, taking place in Williamsburg, VA! April 20 – 22nd, hope to see you there, otherwise I’ll just hunt you down where you sleep.
